KINDNESS BLOOMS NEW ATL

“Kindness Blooms New ATL ” a philanthropy event started on March 8, 2018. The mission is to, “pass out flowers to strangers in hopes of raising spirits, bringing back some of that old southern charm, andspreading smiles across the city of Atlanta”.Milan, CEO of We Are The New Atlanta, initiated the idea after seeing similar projects in other citiesand on social media. “I have been pretty disheartened by so much ugliness in the world these daysespecially with the recent school shootings. Flowers are beautiful. Giving a simple red rose seems likea pretty easy (albeit small) way to spread beauty and kindness”. It is also a great opportunity toactually interact with people and see the effect one small gesture has on people.So on Thursday the team went out with three dozen roses with each single rose having a motivationalquote attached to it. The team walked through downtown Atlanta to spread hugs and smiles as theygave out roses to unsuspecting residents.

This gesture brought a few moments of complete joy to each person who received them.

It was such a cool experience to just easily make people’s days like that. Just give them a flower,something they never expected! And there’s no catch- just a random act of kindness. It was a muchmore fun and exciting experience than we anticipated. The team plans on continuing this trend. Will you join us? If you are a florist with extra flowers on yourhand and would like to make a donation, please contact us. If you are interested in joining this activityor make a donation towards the roses, join us in spreading love in the City. We will be announcing thenext date soon.

If you receive a rose, make sure you post and tag #kindnessbloomsnewatl.

It is our mission to continue to spread some moments of complete joy and kindness throughout theCity of Atlanta. #wearethenewatlanta
